Prioritizing Feeders for Maintenance Activities Using Ahp in Nuclear Power Plants

Abstract

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a powerful and flexible decision making process to help people set priorities and make the best decision when both qualitative and quantitative aspects are to be considered. In this paper, a procedure of prioritizing the outlet feeders under multiple criteria using Saaty's priority theory is presented. In priority theory, weights are assigned to the decision criteria via pair wise comparison of criteria. Seven outlet feeders (alternatives) and three decision criteria have been considered and the prioritization process is illustrated with an example case.

Mathematical Safety Assessment Approaches for Thermal Power Plants

“…Preponderant system functions are used to analyze structure effect and cooperation mechanisms [10][11][12]. These functions have been used for safety assessment of thermal power plants, but there are concerns when constructing the Delphi weight judgment matrix of combined index awkwardly, because it is strenuous processing when the judgment matrix is exceptionally large.…”
